Highway Camera in Chilliwack shows weather around WCKC track
In around the valley the weather is often different and variable. I am sure all of have stayed home since we thought it was raining only to find out later it was great weather at the track. Here is a link the the BC Highways Camera at Evans Rd in Chilliwack not far from the track. Chilliwack Hightway Camera on Evans Rd. If someone has an outdoor camera to donate we could mount it on the tower with a live feed on our website to see the actual track.

WCKC nows permits its members who have purchased a practice pass to bring a guest that is not currently a kart racer to drive their kart at Greg Moore Raceway on Wednesday evenings, from 4 PM until closing. This experience is free of charge. The short track will be used because the “Try A Kart” program is also running at this time. A waiver form will need to be completed before the guest can go out on the track. There will be a maximum of ten karts allowed on the track during this time, as per WCKC rules and regulations.
Samuel O’Young
On behalf of CartBC and all of our karting members our condolences go out to the O’Young family for their loss. We have all lost a wonderful human being who has touched so many people in his years in motorsports.
Sam was always there to help anyone who asked. He had vision and drive and his son Daryl is a true testament of the man who set him on his journey as a young kart racer. Sam mentored a lot of people in our sport through the years and will be missed by all.
Sam, you can now race that perfect race for eternity, no more crashes, no more parts to buy and engines to rebuild into the wee hours of the night. You will remain a true champion forever, God Bless and God Speed!
